man of ten years standing-Gen. Weaver,
of Iowa. think would make good candi-
date for the Labor party He has made
good record in the house of representatives.
However, | will support any good man

LABOR TO NAME THE CANDIDATE.
John L. Burke, Second district mem
Der of Typographical Union No. 6-I do
not think the United Labor party should
make presidential nomination in 1888;
strong alliance would be better. But if it
was found desirable to do SO, / believe Pow
derby would make good run. Outside of
a labor candidate, believe David b. Hill
Cleveland would get but few workingmen's
votes. and if only Cleveland and Blaine
were nominated by the Democrats and Re-
publicans respectively and only Il Prohibi-
ton candidate i'll the field outside of them.
| would vote for the Prohibitionist.
Patrick DoOdy. Third district, a book
keeper and old-time Greenback- Labor agi-
tatOr-Henry George, Gen. j. 3. Weaver or
Jesse Harper, of Illinois, would suit me.
l would rather not vote than do so for one
of the old party candidates.
p. j. Scannell, Fourth district an active
member OF Typographical union No. 6,
and well-known Knight of Labor-Henry
George for the labor candidate If there
was 10 wOrkngmen's nomination David b.
Hill wo uld make strong run. Cleveland
would lose more labor votes than Hill, be-
cause workingmen do not understand his
position on labor measures. James G.
Blaine VI uld make a good Republican can
didate. as he is held in high esteem by Irish
wOrkingmen.
William Anderson. Fifth District men,
Der of Typographical Union No. 6--I think
Henry George would be acceptable to the
majority of wOrkingmen. If there was no
labor candidate Gov. Hill would poll more
workingmen'S votes than Cleveland Blaine

If the Tribune was made a union Office
The workingmen have nothing against him.
and he stands well with the Irish Nation
alists.
Thomas Scannell, Sixth District, also
member Of No. 81 could not name any
candidate for the Labor party to support.
Hill would make good run among work
men if there was no independent candidate.
Cleveland is not Democrat, and is out of
the question. Blaine would be my first
choice if he was nominated if there was no
wol kingmen's candidate.
Joseph Wilkinson. Seventh District. Sec
rotary of the Talors National Union-I
am not prepared to name any one as the
labor candidate. Hill is the only man in
the Democratic party would care to vote
for. Blaine stands well with the working
men,
